COVENT GARDEN .

• - [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR:] Sin,—Apropos of your admirable article on a new Covent Garden, in your issue of December 11th, and your further remarks a week later, I quite agree that .a new market would be better on the north side of the Euston Road. May I make a further suggestion—that the traffic 'problem would be con- siderably relieved if a second and equally important Covent Garden existed south of the Thames ? London is Sufficiently large now to maintain two immense central fruit markets, and there must be many suitable sites south of the Thames.— I am, Sir, &c., ELDON PRATT.
